This page is for requesting CheckUser information on a wiki with no local CheckUsers (see also requesting checkuser access). Make sure to follow the following instructions, or your request may not be processed in a timely manner.

Before making a request:

  1. Make sure you have a good reason for the check. It will only be accepted to counter vandalism or disruption to Wikimedia wikis. Valid reasons include needing a block of the underlying IP or IP range, disruptive sockpuppetry, vote-stacking, and similar disruption where the technical evidence from running a check would prevent or reduce further disruption.
  2. Be specific in your reasons. Ambiguous or insufficient reasons will cause delays. Explain the disruption and why you believe the accounts are related, ideally using diff links or other evidence.
  3. Make sure there are no local checkusers.
  4. Please ensure that the check hasn't already been done:


How to make a request

How to make a request:

  • Place your request at the bottom of the section, using the template below (see also {{srcu}} help). 
    === Username@xx.project ===
{{CU request
 |status          = <!--don't change this line-->
 |language code   = 
 |project shortcut= 
 |user name1      = 
 |user name2      = 
 |user name3      = 
<!-- Max 10 users -->
 |discussion      = [[Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
 |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
}}

    For example: 

    === Example@en.wikipedia ===
{{CU request
 |status          = <!--don't change this line-->
 |language code   = en
 |project shortcut= w
 |user name1      = Example
 |user name2      = Foo
 |user name3      = Bar
<!-- Max 10 users -->
 |discussion      = [[:w:en:Example]]<!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
 |reason          = Reasons here. ~~~~
}}

Tesleemah@en.wikivoyage

Status:    Not done
List of users
Tesleemah (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Taoheedah (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): Similar usernames, and both accounts seem to have a history with copyright violations. They both also use edit summaries of "Added Content". Although Tesleemah's last edit was on 2021/12/27, Taoheedah still seems to be active. Checking if there's more accounts to check for copyright violations.

 It looks like a duck to me. See contribs on meta. They can be friends, family members or the same user. However, it is meaningless to distinguish whether it is meat or sock by investigation. --Sotiale (talk) 13:12, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, sure. I was just wondering if there's more accounts to check for copyvios but if they can be friends, family members or the same user, I agree that it's meaningless to check. SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 22:09, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@SHB2000: Checkuser is to investigate the relationship between accounts, so sleeper check is only possible under very limited conditions. Have previous socking abuse logs, LTAs creating multiple accounts, etc. In this case, the sleeper check is difficult because the relationship between these two accounts is predictable and their previous abuse logs cannot be found separately. If you have other evidence or suspicions, please request again. --Sotiale (talk) 00:28, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wwikix@af.wikipedia

Status:    Done
List of users
Amallgh (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

Lieno Kk (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)

28.65O5.83.5 (contr · deleted · block · log · block log · CA · guc · checkuser · lwcheckuser)
Reason(s): Wwikix has been blocked on the Dutch Wikipedia (list of socks linked) for repeated socking (I understood that data from this file were also available to all checkusers and stewards on the private wiki). It appears that the Wwikix now migrated to afwiki. The first account was already checkusered before (see here and here for the two earlier investigations). Wwikix is mainly involved with messing with the categories on the Afrikaanse Wikipedia. This pattern is continued by the last three users. An additional factor is the overlap in their editing history (including this edit and this identical follow-up edit). It also becomes clear that some socks have similar interests to Wwikix (see this article as one example). A checkuser is requested to investigate whether these accounts are related (to Wwikix and/or earlier socks) and to check whether any sleepers would be present. I'll give a courtesy ping to Oesjaar as he raised the matter to me and Sotiale and AmandaNP for their earlier involvement in handling this case.

From a technical point of view. I have taken the necessary steps and it will work in the short term. --Sotiale (talk) 00:49, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
